Nigel Benn vs Bennie Briscoe At MW

very good point about Bennie being difficult to hit. Plus, Monzon was VERY accurate with the jab, and he had trouble landing it on Bennie. If Monzon did, Benn would definitely. I could see Benn wasting a lot of energy throwing largely ineffecitve flurries at Bennie, gasing out, then getting in big trades with Bennie, and he would quickly be gone. I adjust my opinion to Bennie by TKO from 7-9

 

We'll agree to disagree. Eubank and McClellan were sharpshooters, Benn's ducking, slipping, bobbing and weaving made made them look sloppy. He made Collins miss loads too, Collins usually had a high landing percentage despite not looking great.

 

I will say Benn looked better defensively v G-man and Eubank than in his two fights with Collins, in the rematch v Collins as soon as Collins straightened his shots he dominated Benn, plus he threw more leads than Eubank did in his rematch with Benn, also though McClellan threw more shots than Eubank he retreated a lot vBenn whereas Collins just kept comming forwards throwing more leather the way Briscoe did during his career.

 

Benn was good at that sort of thing too. I'm not picking on his defensive abilities, or even his chin. I'm just saying Benn punched himself out a few times, and could see that happening here. But disagreeing is okay. I mean, we can agree that is not an easy fight for either guy, both were very strong, tough, aggressive fighters.

 

I was disagreeing with the dude saying Benn was easy to hit and Eubank wasn't accurate

 

Eubank actually led off a lot against Benn in the rematch, and threw a lot. Strangely

 

They both missed a lot in that rematch.

 

Awful fight, really awkwardly fought

 

Either late stoppage or UD for Brisoe or early to mid-round stoppage for Benn.

 

I think that Bennie Briscoe takes this one by TKO 9 over Nigel Benn. Nigel although could hit, was not a hitter in the league of Rodrigo Rocky Valdes, who kayoed Bennie in Monte Carlo, Monaco, on May 25 1974, in round 7, with a very deadly right hand. Benn might trouble Briscoe early, staying in their with him, but Bennie's tenacity and aggressiveness is the factor which spells victory.

 

can't agree that Benn would ever stopp Bennie

 

this is EXACTLY what I think

 

Valdez did and Benn punched way harder.

 

If anyone could, it was Benn

 

So not true. Benn made Iran Barkley react in ways that even Tommy Hearns and James Toney couldn't.
